About this episode

Steve Deace discusses the implications of the Citrus Bowl for Michigan's future and analyzes the team's performance in the 2025 season.

Steve Deace wraps 2025 with a blunt look at where Michigan stands after a weird 9-3 season: Sherrone Moore's seat is officially warm, 2026 is playoff-or-bust and why the Citrus Bowl vs. Texas isn't about winning a meaningless game. Former Michigan QB David Cone joins to break down exactly what Bryce must show in those 15 bowl practices to prove he can be elite in Year 2.
